Price: US$16.00 + shipping
Description: 217 pgs. Good to Very Good condition hardcover, red and white decorated boards, red cloth spine, paper titlepiece on front board. General rubbing along edges and corners, darkening to paper of boards, binding very sound, internally clean and unmarked but for previous owner name and date on front endpaper and a small clear waterspot at top margin of text block. A few pages have dogeared corners. Illustrated by Ralph Barton, the popularity of this 1925 comic novel exceeded expectations and the publisher produced multiple printings in short order. This copy is a later printing, with the originally misspelled "Paris Is Devine" chapter title re-appearing in the table of contents as per the author's wishes. Loos was inspired to write the book, first appearing in magazine installments, after observing her close friend H.L. Mencken fall head over heals for a sexy blonde. Several film adaptations were also inspired in 1928 and 1953, the latter starring Marilyn Monroe and carol Channing. A stage musical followed in 1949. #2375 Size: 12mo - 5 x 7.5 Inches

Description: "13th Edition" stated to DJ front panel; "Thirteenth Printing, May, 1926," stated to copyright page. So, obviously, both book and dust jacket are Boni and Liveright and are so marked -- jacket is NOT from a mismatched Grosset & Dunlap reprint (as often found.) Jacket is considerably darkened to spine, is missing a chip from top left of front panel and a considerably larger chunk from bottom center of front panel, removing a central portion of the art. Thus, jacket "fair" only -- please see scans. Boards covered in blue-and-white paper with red cloth to spine. Humor; 217 pp. The 1928 silent film adaptation (starring Ruth Taylor & Alice White) is presumed lost. The 1949 Broadway musical introduced Carol Channing. Jane Russell was paid $200,000 to co-star in the 1953 Howard Hawks film, but it's the $200-a-week unknown Marilyn Monroe who the world remembers for "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." Reduced from $300.
